This is why EXO have a loyal fandom - pure talent and professional performances, both on video and live. Their quality never drops. Please do watch 'Tempo'! 😎
Just watched your reaction to Tempo. Very pleased that you enjoyed it, in all its complexities musically and visually! Thank you for taking the time to react to Tempo. Can I suggest a few live performances also?😎
I can simply say that this song is not a product of popularism. It's a fruit of hard working through many many years, it's a classic. So I've never got bored to listening this masterpiece. It's a cake that you enjoy every slice of it. Actually the whole album is a masterpiece...
It made me so so happy to see just how much you enjoyed it. EXO never disappoints. Check out Tempo MV, Overdose MV, Electic Kiss Dance Practice, Miracles in December mv, and Lightsaber Live
Welcome to the fandom and thank you for appreciating the immense talent in EXO! Since you like the MV so much, you've got to watch the live stage of OBSESSION, version EXO and X-EXO. In this MV, EXO is battling their evil alter-ego.
i really feel happy when i see people are enjoying our exo. and i will never get tired of reacting to their reactions. i really feel proud of our boys. and thank you for such pleasant reaction. i hope you will keep being amazed by them. i want you react to their vocals compilation and other mvs. thank you and welcome to the fandom 🤍
I love how diverse their song is, if u listen to their live performances, some will thought that their mv is always about RnB or ballad , but it isn't. Their song all have variety in it.
EXO from OT12 to OT6 here due to members left & military service, is not easy at all, but they nailed it and getting even stronger. Top notch music and quality 🤌🏻 EXO is the standard and full package (^з^)-☆
Thank you very much for reacting to EXO, I found your channel and I already saw everything related to EXO, I love it! EXO is the only kpop group that I like since 2013 and I'm very happy when new people meet them. I will be attentive to your videos, thank u again!
Omyyy I think I will enjoy hearing your theories!! Always remember EXO is from another planet. So all their MVs are co related. It has a story. For this one, it's EXO vs X-EXO that's why it's too dark.
You have to check obsession live performance you gonna love it for sure.. N don't forget to check "Drop That" live performance,,it another genre of exo song
im really glad you enjoyed this! :) obsession is actually one of their less popular title tracks surprisingly. I'd like to make a suggestion, maybe after watching the MVs, you should watch them doing a live performance of the song. It's always really nice to see an artist perform live and for you being a new fan, you can see their other talents too! (live singing/dancing)
Obsession was actually announced as the best K-pop song of 2019 by billboard. Exo is a legendary group who will deliver you multiple types of songs and surprise you each time. Please react to tempo, let me in and call me baby by Exo.
Monster and Lotto are often linked to Obsession, and I would also include one of their Japanese releases Electric Kiss. Most watch the dance practice of this as it has great choreography, but I love the MV. If you like Star Wars, they collaborated with Disney to make a song to promote the franchise in Asia, Lightsaber. The MV is short, it works well if watched together with the live version.
Yeees, EXO Incredible) One of my top favorite from their comebacks) Amazing mv for starting) I want to recommend 'tempo', 'ko ko bop', 'monster', 'lotto', overdose', 'love shot', 'El Dorado', 'lightsaber' for beginning)) They so unbelievable amazing) Thanks for your reaction) Glad to see what you like)))
They don't make this kind of group and songs anymore other than exo! It's just sad that Xiumin and D.O. weren't part of Obsession era because of military duties. Emperors of K-pop! Legends! ❤❤❤❤
What you saw in the "Obsession" MV was that EXO's doppelgangers were actually their alter ego clones and they were using their superpowers, such as Chanyeol with his fire power, Sehun uses his wind power to deflect the arrows, Baekhyun uses his power of light as a saber in the fencing battle, and Suho (the one with red hair) controls water in the room with all the pictures of water, etc. to fight their other selves. At the very end you see the planet on fire in the end of the MV because it's supposed to show how the world is coming to an end as EXO (the good guys in all black) and X-EXO (the evil ones in the colorful outfits with crazy hair and makeup) battle for control, etc. (Each of the members are playing 2 different characters -- there are only 6 people in this MV.) X-EXO has been created by the evil Red Force and EXO and X-EXO are fighting each other. EXO are trying to prevent X-EXO from taking over and corrupting humanity and X-EXO are trying to stop EXO from finding the Tree of Life and putting the two halves back together and restoring peace, etc. To truly understand EXO, you need to be aware that EXO debuted in 2012. "Mama" is EXO's debut song and MV and it is how EXO was introduced to the world and it explains the group's concept -- and since then, everything SM does branches off from that storyline. From day one, EXO's concept is that they are aliens from planet Exo and they came to Earth with superpowers to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Forces. Each of the members has a superpower that is unique to them and almost every MV will have at least one, if not all of them, using their powers. Now you also need to know that In the beginning there was 12 members and they were split up into 2 groups EXO-K and EXO-M. EXO-K sang and performed their songs in Korean and EXO-M sang and performed those same songs in Mandarin Chinese. EXO-K had 6 Korean members and EXO-M had 4 Chinese members and 2 Korean members. So, to really understand their full origin story, you have to watch both the K and the M version of "Mama", because the EXO-K version focuses on the K members and their powers and the EXO-M version focuses on the M members and their powers. However, since then, 3 of the 4 Chinese members have left the group -- short answer to focus on their solo work back in China -- but there is still one Chinese member left, Lay. (Any performances or MVs you watch that took place prior to May 2014 you will see all 12 members.) However, now -- because they no longer have enough Chinese members -- they no longer do separate promotions, but they still produce almost all of their MVs and main songs in both Korean and Mandarin, they just now promote all as one group EXO with 9 members. However, in the "Obsession" MV there are only 6 members -- Suho, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, Kai and Sehun -- because 2 of the members -- D.O. and Xiumin -- are on hiatus during this comeback as they serve in the military; and due to the political issues between the Korean and Chinese government, Lay -- their Chinese member -- was unable to participate in activities with the group. So, each new MV or project from EXO tells another part of the story, and over the years we fans have started to create a timeline and idea of what we think each part of the story is telling us. However, the introduction of "Obsession's" part of the story really threw all of our theories for a loop, and it has made us question everything we previously have ever thought was happening in EXO's storyline. The MV starts out with the red and blue light because it's supposed to represent how EXO are currently battling with X-EXO and the Red Force for control. In EXO's MVs when you see red light or anything that is red, this represents the Red Force, and when you see blue light or anything that is blue, this is thought to represent EXO. Therefore, when you see red and blue in one scene or purple -- red and blue mixed together make purple -- this is showing how the line between the two sides is being blurred and they are fighting each other, etc. Since "Obsession," some think maybe EXO has been trapped somewhere from the very beginning and it has been X-EXO that we have been following all along. But I think it's still even more complex than that. I think at times we have been watching EXO, and at times we have been watching X-EXO -- with the release of "Obsession" we have only just discovered that the story hasn't necessarily been showing EXO the whole time. With the new information provided to us through "Obsession," it also makes me question how Lay fits within the X-EXO/EXO storyline. Maybe he is one of the members who has been able to break free or avoid the Red Forces' control. In Lay's solo MV for "Sheep," the Allen Walker relift version, we see everything burning outside as if an apocalypse is happening. Maybe "Sheep" is showing us the planet burning from Lay's viewpoint, like we see the world burning at the end of the "Obsession" MV. Also, I believe that the storyline in "Obsession" is connected to SuperM's debut "Jopping" MV storyline. If you pay attention to what Baekhyun and Kai were wearing in "Obsession," those outfits are very similar to the black outfits that Baekhyun and Kai are wearing in the "Jopping" MV. Kai is even wearing the same backpack parachute in both MVs. Which seems to be SM Entertainment's way of making sure we see the connection between those MVs. Therefore, it is thought that, as part of SuperM's storyline, Baekhyun and Kai have gathered the best of the best of SM's groups -- Taemin from SHINee, Taeyong and Mark from NCT, Ten from WayV and Lucas who is a former member of WayV -- to help them battle the Red Force, and maybe, eventually, take down X-EXO. Just like the Marvel Avengers come together as individual superheroes with their own storylines to create the Avengers and to fight evil, it is thought that SuperM is coming together to create the ultimate supergroup to help EXO fight the evil and corruption inflicted on humanity by the Red Force. Unfortunately, to make it even more difficult to understand, each part of the story is not necessarily in chronological order, so we as EXO-L (EXO fans) have to become detectives and analyze every aspect of all of their teasers, MVs, song lyrics, albums, concert VCRs, choreography and even live performances and piece it all together to understand the story behind it all. And not only are EXO's and SuperM's MVs and storylines connected, but pretty much all of SM's groups have storylines and concepts that connect together, which is designed to become part of one giant graphic novel or movie in the SM Culture Universe. To help you pinpoint the powers being used in EXO's MVs and live performances, here is a list of the members and what their special power is. EXO-K 💦 Suho (Kim JunMyeon) is the leader of the group and he is a lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control water (Fun fact: Suho in Korean means guardian, as in the guardian of EXO. That's why as the leader of EXO, his stage name is Suho.) 💡Baekhyun is a main vocalist and his superpower is the ability to control light 🔥Chanyeol is the main rapper and lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control fire and his spirit animal is the phoenix. 🌏D.O. (Do KyungSoo) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control earth (dirt), which gives him super strength/force ☄Kai (Kim JongIn) is a main dancer, lead vocalist and sub-rapper and his power is teleportation (Kai means opening as in a door or gateway, so his stage name is meant to symbolize his role in the group.) 🌪Sehun is the youngest member of the group and he is a lead rapper, lead dancer and a vocalist -- his power is the ability to control wind EXO-M ❄Xiumin (Kim MinSeok) is the oldest member of the group and he is a lead vocalist and lead rapper and his power is the ability to control snow/ice (frost) 🦄 Lay (Zhang Yixing) is the Chinese member of the group, he is a main dancer, lead vocalist and rapper -- his power is the ability to heal anything. 🌩 Chen (Kim JongDae) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control thunder/lightning/electricity (As you can see, Xiumin and Chen were given stage names that sounded more Chinese so they would fit in better in EXO-M because they are the Korean members of the Chinese group.) The Chinese members who are no longer part of the group, but are still an important part of EXO's storyline: 🐉 Kris was the leader of EXO-M he was a main rapper and vocalist -- his power was the ability to fly and his spirit animal was a dragon (Kris left the group in April 2014.) 💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind) (Luhan left the group in October 2014.) ⏰Tao (Z.Tao) was a lead rapper and vocalist and the martial artist of the group, so he did the flips and stunts in the group's routines. His power was the ability to control time (Tao ended activities with EXO in August 2015.)
Thank you so much for all of that information. I will try to dive into it a bit but I doubt I will go as far as to follow the lore in that detail. I will be happy if I know the members names by Christmas and I even think I won't even remember that. But I am trying... I will enjoy the MVs and the live performances and take it from there.
Thank you very much, I enjoyed your reaction. You make some cool reaction videos. I hope you liked our EXO and will make more reaction videos to their MV, show and other content. They have very unique voices and an incredibly thoughtful concept. They pay attention to every detail. Each member has his own unusual color in music, sound and style. With exo you get variety in music. And they are also Mega talented and professionals. They are a role model and an idol for the younger generation of K-pop. I will be waiting for more video reactions to the group mv, solo albums, solo songs.🤍🤍🤍 WE ARE ONE. EXO SARANGHAJAAAAA 🎉
I call it EXO genre 🤭 they can sing all genre, so i just call it that 😁 EXO titel track is great but i love their Bside more. Can't wait what you react next. Tx
Actually EXO is the king of dark concepts😁 I highly recommend Monster, Lotto and Jekyll (doesn’t have an official MV). They’re also so dark and cool🔥 Also their singing talent is phenomenal in these songs.
Как круто когда восхищаются ребятами EXO! То чувство когда с ними 11 лет и обожаешь каждую их песню! И так радостно что с каждым днем фанатов ЕХО становится больше. Wre are one!
EXO is my ult favorite! They are just so good as a group or solo they always kills it.❤️👑 They can sing their songs live and sounds just like the recording. Amazing!❤❤❤
I love this song so much and the whole album is amezing . D.O AND xiumin wasn’t apart of obsession era they were in military service sad we don't get to see D.O in X-EXO version 😢
@@Tooba-K123 Xiumin became X-Xiumin during his fanmeeting after coming back from the military, just search "Xiumin Obsession" and you'll find photos (I don't think there are any videos of it. TH-cam deleted them due to copyright I think.).
@@Tooba-K123 yep, i remember back in the day in 2014 when i first started getting into kpop i wondered if this genre had rappers, that's how I discovered exo lol
Since you like EDM and club scene, I suggest watching EXO’s concert stage for Diamond, Drop That, Run This, and Power (all in one video) because you’ll see how they make a set for their concert turn into a rave. It’s so fun to watch.
You "were expecting a boy group K-pop song." Honestly, I'm GenX and avoided K-pop for that reason until EXO in July. I heard their skills and I was like, "Wow! This is grown folks music! And they can sing!" I've been deep down in the rabbit hole since. And loving it! It's funny you weren't expecting what you happily found in Obsession. I was the same. But EXO has been all over the place over the years... Like other commenters, I strongly suggest their classics "Tempo," "Call Me Baby," "Monster" (those harmonies, OMG) and their debut "Mama." They get hardcore party with "Drop That (Live)" and smooth with "Groove" and "Ooh La La La." And "Artificial Love" is a more mellow, funky EDM piece. They hit RnB hard. I can listen to the newer "Hear Me Out" and "Let Me In" all day. Honestly, I can listen to these guys harmonize anything all day. I'm sure you won't be able to react to all the suggestions. I just think you might find those songs interesting on your own. Anyway, I really enjoy how well you explain your reactions. Thank you and happy listening! lol
Thank you very much, Glad you liked it. Yes they seem interesting, lets see if I get hooked. Mele voices are difficult for me as I mostly follow girl groups only. Female voices touch me more. But these guys have something that I like and I'll dive a bit deeper to find out more....
every single exo song is just amazing, i'm glad you enjoyed this one haha the video and the concept are so cool bc exo has this concept where they have superpowers, you can learn more watching their debut music video: mama! the thing i love the most about exo is that they're an r&b + pop boy group, their music is just crazy good and on top of that their amazing vocals and talent. i enjoy your videos a lot, thank you for reacting to exo once again! :)
I enjoyed your reactions 😂. Another song you might enjoy for its choreography is Monster (the first song on Killing Voice). The MV or live concert is best. The one EXO “boy” group song I can think of is KoKoBop. But it’s fun. Features their super powers. Growl was the song that sent them to being dubbed Kings. Everyone in Korea knew this song. Wolf is wonderful. But be sure to watch it live. It’s different from anything you’ve seen. I always think of obsession as drugs. The words could fit. Sehun’s super power is wind. That’s why the arrows can’t hit him. He uses wind to stop them. The guides are very insightful. Looking forward to your next reaction.
Thank you for reactions EXO, if the like the MV please try at the previously albums and continue you will found the MV connecting as the storyline since the start until currently.
I'm an EXOL, I love your reaction when saw their music video, but for sure I think you can more loving EXO by react EXO live perform, their live perform is other level... i swear
İ miss obsession era and all the promotion that was going on and the consertes , it was great time, everything was great 2019 , then it's like we want into an abyss
If you like EDM songs, than you must watch their party session on their concerts. Exo Drop That+Keep On Dance+Let Out The Beast+Run, it's in the same acoustic session concert, EXO'rdium. EXO Diamond+Coming Over+Run This+Drop That+Power in their Elyxion Concert.
I know I'm Chanyeol biased, but when he raised up in the beginning...I diiiiiied! He got that part because he was the only one who could do it. You know the kind of core strength that takes?? Lord have mercy! And the song is a banger, obviously. 😂
This is why EXO have a loyal fandom - pure talent and professional performances, both on video and live. Their quality never drops. Please do watch 'Tempo'! 😎
is planned :)
Up
Just watched your reaction to Tempo. Very pleased that you enjoyed it, in all its complexities musically and visually! Thank you for taking the time to react to Tempo. Can I suggest a few live performances also?😎
@@dees9423 definitely not... hahaha... no sure you can :) :) I'll try my best to find time
I can simply say that this song is not a product of popularism. It's a fruit of hard working through many many years, it's a classic. So I've never got bored to listening this masterpiece. It's a cake that you enjoy every slice of it. Actually the whole album is a masterpiece...
upppp
Spot on! EXO does not follow trends, they make them!
Yassss
How nice you described the song
It made me so so happy to see just how much you enjoyed it. EXO never disappoints. Check out Tempo MV, Overdose MV, Electic Kiss Dance Practice, Miracles in December mv, and Lightsaber Live

Omyyy I think I will enjoy hearing your theories!!
Always remember EXO is from another planet. So all their MVs are co related. It has a story. For this one, it's EXO vs X-EXO that's why it's too dark.
thank you very much :)
You have to check obsession live performance you gonna love it for sure..
N don't forget to check "Drop That" live performance,,it another genre of exo song
im really glad you enjoyed this! :) obsession is actually one of their less popular title tracks surprisingly.
I'd like to make a suggestion, maybe after watching the MVs, you should watch them doing a live performance of the song.
It's always really nice to see an artist perform live and for you being a new fan, you can see their other talents too! (live singing/dancing)
Obsession was actually announced as the best K-pop song of 2019 by billboard.
Exo is a legendary group who will deliver you multiple types of songs and surprise you each time.
Please react to tempo, let me in and call me baby by Exo.
Exo’s music story like movies ❤
I love every concept
Exo is fighting X-Exo here, their clones. All mvs are connected and you will inderstand if you watch them all
I’m glad you reacted to this mv specifically it’s really sick and no one in kpop can do like this more Exo to come 🙌🏻
Its really nice, yes. Thank you
Monster and Lotto are often linked to Obsession, and I would also include one of their Japanese releases Electric Kiss. Most watch the dance practice of this as it has great choreography, but I love the MV. If you like Star Wars, they collaborated with Disney to make a song to promote the franchise in Asia, Lightsaber. The MV is short, it works well if watched together with the live version.
Thank you , that sounds interesting
Not to mention Exo's storyline actually match so well with Star Wars. 😍
I feel comfort when others discover EXO and are able to enjoy EXO vibe ❤❤. Thank you. I hope you keep being amazed by all of them.
Thank you so much, step by step I will dive into them....
I love your reaction to Obsession. The rap part is one of my favorites. You can also check out Tempo ❤
that one is planned

more EXO stage reaction please
Best group ✨
They don't make this kind of group and songs anymore other than exo! It's just sad that Xiumin and D.O. weren't part of Obsession era because of military duties. Emperors of K-pop! Legends! ❤❤❤❤
well my advise would be to see the guide about EXO and them see by order the MV so you have a feel of the evolution . great reaction
thank you.... after a few MVs I'll look at a guide....
Fact abt exo ....just watched live performance only !!!(mama +monster+wolf) for know abt exo :)
What you saw in the "Obsession" MV was that EXO's doppelgangers were actually their alter ego clones and they were using their superpowers, such as Chanyeol with his fire power, Sehun uses his wind power to deflect the arrows, Baekhyun uses his power of light as a saber in the fencing battle, and Suho (the one with red hair) controls water in the room with all the pictures of water, etc. to fight their other selves. At the very end you see the planet on fire in the end of the MV because it's supposed to show how the world is coming to an end as EXO (the good guys in all black) and X-EXO (the evil ones in the colorful outfits with crazy hair and makeup) battle for control, etc. (Each of the members are playing 2 different characters -- there are only 6 people in this MV.)
X-EXO has been created by the evil Red Force and EXO and X-EXO are fighting each other. EXO are trying to prevent X-EXO from taking over and corrupting humanity and X-EXO are trying to stop EXO from finding the Tree of Life and putting the two halves back together and restoring peace, etc.
To truly understand EXO, you need to be aware that EXO debuted in 2012. "Mama" is EXO's debut song and MV and it is how EXO was introduced to the world and it explains the group's concept -- and since then, everything SM does branches off from that storyline. From day one, EXO's concept is that they are aliens from planet Exo and they came to Earth with superpowers to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Forces. Each of the members has a superpower that is unique to them and almost every MV will have at least one, if not all of them, using their powers.
Now you also need to know that In the beginning there was 12 members and they were split up into 2 groups EXO-K and EXO-M. EXO-K sang and performed their songs in Korean and EXO-M sang and performed those same songs in Mandarin Chinese. EXO-K had 6 Korean members and EXO-M had 4 Chinese members and 2 Korean members. So, to really understand their full origin story, you have to watch both the K and the M version of "Mama", because the EXO-K version focuses on the K members and their powers and the EXO-M version focuses on the M members and their powers.
However, since then, 3 of the 4 Chinese members have left the group -- short answer to focus on their solo work back in China -- but there is still one Chinese member left, Lay. (Any performances or MVs you watch that took place prior to May 2014 you will see all 12 members.) However, now -- because they no longer have enough Chinese members -- they no longer do separate promotions, but they still produce almost all of their MVs and main songs in both Korean and Mandarin, they just now promote all as one group EXO with 9 members. However, in the "Obsession" MV there are only 6 members -- Suho, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, Kai and Sehun -- because 2 of the members -- D.O. and Xiumin -- are on hiatus during this comeback as they serve in the military; and due to the political issues between the Korean and Chinese government, Lay -- their Chinese member -- was unable to participate in activities with the group.
So, each new MV or project from EXO tells another part of the story, and over the years we fans have started to create a timeline and idea of what we think each part of the story is telling us. However, the introduction of "Obsession's" part of the story really threw all of our theories for a loop, and it has made us question everything we previously have ever thought was happening in EXO's storyline.

With the new information provided to us through "Obsession," it also makes me question how Lay fits within the X-EXO/EXO storyline. Maybe he is one of the members who has been able to break free or avoid the Red Forces' control. In Lay's solo MV for "Sheep," the Allen Walker relift version, we see everything burning outside as if an apocalypse is happening. Maybe "Sheep" is showing us the planet burning from Lay's viewpoint, like we see the world burning at the end of the "Obsession" MV.
Also, I believe that the storyline in "Obsession" is connected to SuperM's debut "Jopping" MV storyline. If you pay attention to what Baekhyun and Kai were wearing in "Obsession," those outfits are very similar to the black outfits that Baekhyun and Kai are wearing in the "Jopping" MV. Kai is even wearing the same backpack parachute in both MVs. Which seems to be SM Entertainment's way of making sure we see the connection between those MVs.
Therefore, it is thought that, as part of SuperM's storyline, Baekhyun and Kai have gathered the best of the best of SM's groups -- Taemin from SHINee, Taeyong and Mark from NCT, Ten from WayV and Lucas who is a former member of WayV -- to help them battle the Red Force, and maybe, eventually, take down X-EXO. Just like the Marvel Avengers come together as individual superheroes with their own storylines to create the Avengers and to fight evil, it is thought that SuperM is coming together to create the ultimate supergroup to help EXO fight the evil and corruption inflicted on humanity by the Red Force.
Unfortunately, to make it even more difficult to understand, each part of the story is not necessarily in chronological order, so we as EXO-L (EXO fans) have to become detectives and analyze every aspect of all of their teasers, MVs, song lyrics, albums, concert VCRs, choreography and even live performances and piece it all together to understand the story behind it all. And not only are EXO's and SuperM's MVs and storylines connected, but pretty much all of SM's groups have storylines and concepts that connect together, which is designed to become part of one giant graphic novel or movie in the SM Culture Universe.
To help you pinpoint the powers being used in EXO's MVs and live performances, here is a list of the members and what their special power is.
EXO-K
💦 Suho (Kim JunMyeon) is the leader of the group and he is a lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control water (Fun fact: Suho in Korean means guardian, as in the guardian of EXO. That's why as the leader of EXO, his stage name is Suho.)
💡Baekhyun is a main vocalist and his superpower is the ability to control light
🔥Chanyeol is the main rapper and lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control fire and his spirit animal is the phoenix.
🌏D.O. (Do KyungSoo) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control earth (dirt), which gives him super strength/force
☄Kai (Kim JongIn) is a main dancer, lead vocalist and sub-rapper and his power is teleportation (Kai means opening as in a door or gateway, so his stage name is meant to symbolize his role in the group.)
🌪Sehun is the youngest member of the group and he is a lead rapper, lead dancer and a vocalist -- his power is the ability to control wind
EXO-M
❄Xiumin (Kim MinSeok) is the oldest member of the group and he is a lead vocalist and lead rapper and his power is the ability to control snow/ice (frost)
🦄 Lay (Zhang Yixing) is the Chinese member of the group, he is a main dancer, lead vocalist and rapper -- his power is the ability to heal anything.
🌩 Chen (Kim JongDae) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control thunder/lightning/electricity
(As you can see, Xiumin and Chen were given stage names that sounded more Chinese so they would fit in better in EXO-M because they are the Korean members of the Chinese group.)
The Chinese members who are no longer part of the group, but are still an important part of EXO's storyline:
🐉 Kris was the leader of EXO-M he was a main rapper and vocalist -- his power was the ability to fly and his spirit animal was a dragon (Kris left the group in April 2014.)
💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind) (Luhan left the group in October 2014.)
⏰Tao (Z.Tao) was a lead rapper and vocalist and the martial artist of the group, so he did the flips and stunts in the group's routines. His power was the ability to control time (Tao ended activities with EXO in August 2015.)
Thank you so much for all of that information. I will try to dive into it a bit but I doubt I will go as far as to follow the lore in that detail. I will be happy if I know the members names by Christmas and I even think I won't even remember that. But I am trying... I will enjoy the MVs and the live performances and take it from there.
Thank you very much, I enjoyed your reaction.
You make some cool reaction videos. I hope you liked our EXO and will make more reaction videos to their MV, show and other content. They have very unique voices and an incredibly thoughtful concept. They pay attention to every detail. Each member has his own unusual color in music, sound and style. With exo you get variety in music. And they are also Mega talented and professionals. They are a role model and an idol for the younger generation of K-pop.
I will be waiting for more video reactions to the group mv, solo albums, solo songs.🤍🤍🤍
WE ARE ONE. EXO SARANGHAJAAAAA 🎉
May be you can check out "Obsession" live stage Mix btw X-EXO/EXO ,it so cool.
I'm 59 Years old and still love listen there music. You can call me Exol ❤
❤❤❤
Exo❤❤❤❤❤ more please
exo is known for their diverse discography
EXO are the best, great reaction 👏🏻
Thank you very much
I call it EXO genre 🤭 they can sing all genre, so i just call it that 😁 EXO titel track is great but i love their Bside more. Can't wait what you react next. Tx
Actually EXO is the king of dark concepts😁
I highly recommend Monster, Lotto and Jekyll (doesn’t have an official MV). They’re also so dark and cool🔥
Also their singing talent is phenomenal in these songs.
Как круто когда восхищаются ребятами EXO! То чувство когда с ними 11 лет и обожаешь каждую их песню! И так радостно что с каждым днем фанатов ЕХО становится больше. Wre are one!
EXO is my ult favorite! They are just so good as a group or solo they always kills it.❤️👑 They can sing their songs live and sounds just like the recording. Amazing!❤❤❤
Thanks for your reaction :)
More EXO PLEASE
EXO the only k-POP I Stan,they are different ❤❤❤
I love this song so much and the whole album is amezing . D.O AND xiumin wasn’t apart of obsession era they were in military service sad we don't get to see D.O in X-EXO version 😢
I still wonder what would be D.O. and Xiumin's looks in Obsession era 😢 Xiumin's cat eyes especially would've nailed it as X-Xiumin.
@@Tooba-K123 Xiumin became X-Xiumin during his fanmeeting after coming back from the military, just search "Xiumin Obsession" and you'll find photos (I don't think there are any videos of it. TH-cam deleted them due to copyright I think.).
Um ... we do get to see the X-EXO D.O. and Xiumin when the other guys tease them too much! lol!
When i first heard Chaenyeol's rap for the first time on this song i rewinded it like 5 times lol
I can understand :)
Fr, I never liked rap but Chanyeol is the first guy made me enjoy rap because of his rap in Tempo, Love Shot, Obsession, Call me baby, etc
@@Tooba-K123 yep, i remember back in the day in 2014 when i first started getting into kpop i wondered if this genre had rappers, that's how I discovered exo lol
A song that I recommend from Exo is What is Love, the vocal line is the best, a song that catches you vocally
thank you
Exo 😄 Thank you
Since you like EDM and club scene, I suggest watching EXO’s concert stage for Diamond, Drop That, Run This, and Power (all in one video) because you’ll see how they make a set for their concert turn into a rave. It’s so fun to watch.
You got to watch Tempo. It's total different type of Music from EXO
I love this song so much and still listen to it all the time! Another awesome one to check out is Monster :D
It's debut song of EXO-X.. 😆😆😆
They are just exist for a year 🤭🤭🤭
But can't leave my mind..
Obsession and jeykyll.. the darkest song 😏😏😏
So glad that first music mv you watch, you enjoy that a lot
Exo live concert better than they MV😊
but you always have to know the original to truly value the live performance....
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it! EXO is very versatile, I hope you'll react to their albums, too, they are amazing!
There definitely is more to come.... thank you
Love seeing you enjoy EXO's songs
Hi New subscribers here thank you for exploring EXO, trust me they are amazing
Thank you I really appreciate that. A deeper dive is coming.... Maybe not the full details of the complete lore... but I will dive for sure...
You should try to listen love shot, wolf, growl, monster, kokobop, the eve, electric kiss and love me right its all by EXO.
You "were expecting a boy group K-pop song." Honestly, I'm GenX and avoided K-pop for that reason until EXO in July. I heard their skills and I was like, "Wow! This is grown folks music! And they can sing!" I've been deep down in the rabbit hole since. And loving it! It's funny you weren't expecting what you happily found in Obsession. I was the same. But EXO has been all over the place over the years... Like other commenters, I strongly suggest their classics "Tempo," "Call Me Baby," "Monster" (those harmonies, OMG) and their debut "Mama." They get hardcore party with "Drop That (Live)" and smooth with "Groove" and "Ooh La La La." And "Artificial Love" is a more mellow, funky EDM piece. They hit RnB hard. I can listen to the newer "Hear Me Out" and "Let Me In" all day. Honestly, I can listen to these guys harmonize anything all day. I'm sure you won't be able to react to all the suggestions. I just think you might find those songs interesting on your own. Anyway, I really enjoy how well you explain your reactions. Thank you and happy listening! lol
Thank you very much, Glad you liked it. Yes they seem interesting, lets see if I get hooked. Mele voices are difficult for me as I mostly follow girl groups only. Female voices touch me more. But these guys have something that I like and I'll dive a bit deeper to find out more....
EXO SERVED ✨🔥
oh i'm so happy you started with Obsession!!!
Thankyou... I enjoyed it :)
I'm obsession you reaction to Exo 🔥🔥🔥
glad you liked it :) thank you
Thank you for reacting to EXO.
You should check out EXO - Tempo for great acapella and rock performances by EXO mama + monster and wolf🤍
every single exo song is just amazing, i'm glad you enjoyed this one haha
the video and the concept are so cool bc exo has this concept where they have superpowers, you can learn more watching their debut music video: mama!
the thing i love the most about exo is that they're an r&b + pop boy group, their music is just crazy good and on top of that their amazing vocals and talent.
i enjoy your videos a lot, thank you for reacting to exo once again! :)
Thank you very much. Glad you like my stuff. Exo are interesting... I'll definitely take a closer look.
Thank you so much ..i love your reaction to exo
Thank YOU
Enjoyed your reaction so much! Thank you :) always appreciate recognition of their talent ❤
Also, you can rewind 100 times, we don't mind 😁 love your reactions. Can't wait to see more exo ❤️
Thank you so much for that... more is coming
I enjoyed your reactions 😂. Another song you might enjoy for its choreography is Monster (the first song on Killing Voice). The MV or live concert is best.
The one EXO “boy” group song I can think of is KoKoBop. But it’s fun. Features their super powers.
Growl was the song that sent them to being dubbed Kings. Everyone in Korea knew this song.
Wolf is wonderful. But be sure to watch it live. It’s different from anything you’ve seen.
I always think of obsession as drugs. The words could fit. Sehun’s super power is wind. That’s why the arrows can’t hit him. He uses wind to stop them.
The guides are very insightful.
Looking forward to your next reaction.
thank you very much
It's so wonderful seeing the satisfaction in your reaction. Thank you so much sir, more EXO in the futureeeee
Thank you, glad you liked it :)
Thank you for reactions EXO, if the like the MV please try at the previously albums and continue you will found the MV connecting as the storyline since the start until currently.
I'm an EXOL, I love your reaction when saw their music video, but for sure I think you can more loving EXO by react EXO live perform, their live perform is other level... i swear
Please react their live stage too. Thank you
you must react another Exo MV, ex : Tempo, Love Shot, Monster, Cream Soda (7th album 2023)
İ miss obsession era and all the promotion that was going on and the consertes , it was great time, everything was great 2019 , then it's like we want into an abyss
King of kpop❤❤
Lagends like exo
After the mv the live stages and you will love the live stages more welcome to exoplanet❤
Since you really liked Obsession, I’d recommend Monster next then Tempo.
their best title track, EXACTLY!!! She's a queen, she's the moment, she's MOTHER OBSESSION
Please react more EXO MV songs. All their songs are really amazing and good.
EXO is the best seriously ❤❤ Thanks for the reaction Pierre
Thank YOU!
the whole album is so cool
If you like EDM songs, than you must watch their party session on their concerts. Exo Drop That+Keep On Dance+Let Out The Beast+Run, it's in the same acoustic session concert, EXO'rdium. EXO Diamond+Coming Over+Run This+Drop That+Power in their Elyxion Concert.
Best k pop song in 2019 by billboard❤
Next Cream Soda 🍹🍺🍻🥂
I know I'm Chanyeol biased, but when he raised up in the beginning...I diiiiiied! He got that part because he was the only one who could do it. You know the kind of core strength that takes?? Lord have mercy!
And the song is a banger, obviously. 😂
If you are going to be introduced to EXO, I can't think of a better song!
Descubrí un vídeo de usted reaccionando a EXO y aquí me tiene viendo todos los vídeos que tiene de ellos 😁😁😁
Thank you so much!!!
I am so glad to see here another “Exo”’s reaction. ❤😊
Thank you for reacting and all Exo song never disappointed but higly recommend “Tempo”!!!!!
